Alfred Hitchcock - Shadow
Portrait, 8.5 11 in.
Lead on Paper
Everyone has a favorite Hitchcock film - Vertigo, The Birds, North By North West, Psycho, Rear Window, Dial M For Murder, I could go on and on. Looking over the list of movies it's almost inconceivable that one person could have done them all, and that he was also the person that at once created a uniquely original version of the emerging horror film of the time - the thriller. Suspense and mystery were the supreme tools of Hitchcock, earning him the apt title,the Master of Suspense. On one hand he was a dark and sinister, brilliant and uplifting director of the time - and on the other a loving and warm family man. I tried to do a half and half image of him that kind of conveyed that a little. No matter what your favorite film, hasn't he earned a spot on your wall?
